Violet Eyes

Chapter 1

Shikamaru woke up with a splitting headache. He sat up gingerly letting the blanket pool about his waist. Moaning softly he noticed a figure stirring next to him. To his shock he looked down to see a long white haired, naked, girl sleeping on her side. Her hair lay about her like a pool of liquid silver. She had long shapely legs. The blanket was just barely covering her hips and lower back. His movement caused her to sigh and roll onto her back giving him quite a view of her ample chest.

Shikamaru quickly looked away as a blush covered his face. Glancing down at the red blanket he froze as he realized he was also naked.

'Crap,' he thought. 'This is going to be very troublesome.'

*******

It all started three days ago when he decided to take a solo mission. He chose a three day C ranked mission to a village in Earth Country. The mission would take him through a resort area at the edge of Fire Country. In two days it would be Asuma sensi's death anniversary. He needed a break and a place to mourn in private.

Shikamaru lit up a cigarette as soon as he left the central building and began his slow saunter home. The mission was an easy one. Deliver some papers and get a response. Perfect for his mood. Nothing troublesome.

He finished the mission with quick efficiency and stopped to spend the night in a small resort town. "Asuma…" he thought as he took a long drag. Sighing he turned and headed for the heart of the town and entered the first bar he came across.

The bartender glanced at him for a long moment before he sat a bottle and cup down before him. "Looks like you need this tonight friend."

Shikamaru smiled a bit and downed a cup. "More then you could know."

He lost count of the bottles after four. At some point he decided sleep was in order. After paying the bartender and thanking him he stumbled out into the street. Then…..nothing.

"Is your head hurting that much?" quipped a silky voice at his elbow. Shikamaru looked down and was happy to see the girl had covered herself. She was propped up on one elbow, her hair streaming about her. She smiled, "You shouldn't drink anymore. It makes you do crazy things."

'Like pick up and sleep with a girl I don't know,' thought Shikamaru.

The girl sat up clutching the blanket to her chest and glanced about the room. "Perfect," she said as she dropped the covers and crossed the room to a nook by the door. Shikamaru was sure his face couldn't get any redder and quickly looked away from her very tempting backside.

"I'm going to take a shower. You really wore me out last night….Want to join me?" Shikamaru looked up to see her peering around the bathroom door.

"No thanks. I'll take one in a bit once my head clears," he said.

"Suite yourself," she said and closed the door. Shikamaru took a good look around now and noticed one thing. No clothes. They weren't anywhere to be seen. Near the door in the nook was a neatly folded blue and white yakuta.

"No choice," he muttered as he got up and quickly strode over and scooped up the yakuta. All the while praying she wouldn't finish before he got dressed. Just as he pulled the last knot on the belt the bathroom door opened and she came back into the room drying her hair with a fluffy white towel.

Smiling a sweet smile, "Morning Shikamaru, let me go order our breakfast while you freshen up." With that she left quickly through the door.

"She knows my name….great." Rubbing his fingers into his temples he stumbled into the shower. Praying this would all be gone when he finished.

No such luck. There she was sitting next to a low table while the matron placed food upon the surface. He nodded his thanks before taking a place opposite her. He waited for the matron to leave before looking up at her. He was surprised to find her staring at him. She had beautiful violet eyes which glittered against her pale hair and skin.

"What?" he as cautiously.

"You look better. The shower did you good," she replied.

"You remembered my name…" he asked as he took a bit of toast, trying to think of a way to get information from her.

"Of course, I called it enough times last night." Shikamaru choked on the toast and turned beet red. She looked at him for a moment. "You don't remember anything do you?"

Shikamaru closed his eyes and tried to calm himself. Taking several long deep breaths before opening his eyes to meet hers he said, "The last thing I remember was leaving the bar. Next thing I know I have a splitting headache and am not sleeping alone."

"I'm hurt," she pouted. "We had such a good time last night. You don't even remember my name do you?"

Shamed he shook his head. She sighed looking disappointed. The sight made his heart skip a beat. "Should I tell you about last night?"

"You don't need to…" he said.

"Oh I think I do. It's quite the tale." Just as she began to speak there was a polite knock at the door. The matron entered carrying two bundles which she place in the nook and left quietly. The girl got up and retrieved them placing one bundle in his lap. It was his clothes. He looked up at her in confusion.

"Now, would you like to know how I was able to get a Konoha ninja out of his pants and into my bed?"
